Our destinations in Africa

Why You'll love Africa

See the Big 5 on a safari

Dorothy may have been all about lions and tigers and bears (oh my!), but in Africa it’s all about the Big 5. The African elephant, the black rhino, the Cape buffalo, the African lion and the African leopard are the ones to keep your eyes peeled for on a safari. So grab your binoculars and jump aboard your overland vehicle.

Jump with warriors in the Masai Mara

The Masai Mara’s wide open plains, postcard-perfect skies and herds of wild animals are an Instagrammer’s delight (if you can get any reception). But it’s also home to the Maasai people, one of Kenya’s most famous tribes. You might have seen pics of these red-clad warriors taking part in jumping dances – they’ve maintained a traditional way of life and welcome everyone to come and learn about their vibrant culture.

Admire the majestic Victoria Falls

If you’re partial to a waterfall or two, Victoria Falls is one to tick off your bucket list. Just casually considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, Vic Falls is technically the largest waterfall in the world (even though it is neither the highest or widest). This is because the sheet of water that falls from it is technically the biggest overall – winner!

Spot wildebeest during the Great Migration

If you head to East Africa’s Masai Mara or Serengeti, you might be lucky enough to see the wildebeest (and more) during the Great Migration. While we understand no-one wants to relive the traumatic scene from the Lion King where Mufasa gets trampled by a herd of wildebeests (spoiler alert), seeing them in real life is actually pretty amazing.

Cycle through the iconic Soweto

Head to Jo’burg and explore Soweto on wheels. This colourful region is home to more than three million people and was an iconic location in the anti-apartheid movement. You’ll see where Nelson Mandela used to live, hit up a local shebeen bar for a cold drink and roll past Desmond Tutu’s house. A history lesson, a bike ride and couple of drinks? What more could you want?

See the sights of the Serengeti National Park

Tanzania’s Serengeti is home to all the African animals you’ve been dying to see – lions, hippos, elephants – you name it! It’s also known for some pretty stunning scenery and even an exploded volcano. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest inactive, intact, and unfilled crater and is home to thousands of wild animals living inside.

There was a lot of opportunities during the trip to get money out and buy lunch. This trip provides good opportunities to see a lot of animals in their natural habitat. This trip helps support the protecting of land for animals to live. We saw 4 animals out of big 5. Chobe and karma rhino sanctuary are the best spots to see wildlife. The delta is beautiful. Camping isn't too bad, the toilet facilities were quiet good.

Zali Melhuish

Such an amazing experience exploring Maroc, I wish the tour went longer and will miss the tour leader and everyone involved very much. Such good value and I would highly recommend putting your name down if you're considering what to do for your next trip. You won't be disappointed.

Thea FitzGerald

Absolutely one of the BEST travel experiences I have ever had. Despite my reservations about tours (either too party oriented, too tourist orientated, or aimed at older travellers), at 21, this trip ticked ALL the boxes. With our local guide Hicham, we went off the beaten track and I came away feeling like I really got to see the real Morocco (I definitely don’t think this would’ve been possible without our guide).

Casie Classey

This trip was amazing. My husband and I had a wonderful experience. As long as you have the right expectations for the trip, you will have an excellent time. You will spend a lot of time on the "elephant" (the huge bus) so be prepared. I made sure to have a good pillow, my Kindle/book, and I also took motion sickness pills each day just in case. You will also have to assist with meal prepping, cooking and cleaning up. Our guides did most of the actual cooking, but we broke up into teams and took turns cleaning dishes after every meal. You are also responsible with the set up and break down of your tent each day. These things are all worth it for how much you get to see and experience.

Samantha Spark

This is the best way to get a taste of Africa. I hadn’t done much camping before and even after 16 nights I was still loving it! This trip highlights animals, villages and natural wonders! Top tip: bring lots of sunscreen and insect repellent.

Jack McGrath

Absolutely fantastic trip. I have recommended this Moroccan tour to everyone I talk to. Our guide provided a wealth of knowledge about the locals and each city. This trip was also great value for money.

Alice Carter

Fantastic trip, great group and Hicham was a great tour guide. I had the best birthday waking up in the Sahara and that was the highlight of the trip, but I also loved the other places we visited especially Moudlay Idriss. Although not included in the trip it would have been great to visit Chefchaouen. Bring more spending money with you than you imagine and if you go in January, Morocco can get cold!

When planning for this trip ensure you have USD, RAND and if possible PULA as they are the main currencies you will use. Pula is what you will use most of and USD is what you will use least of as it is for Zimbabwe and they mostly accept card.

Chelsea Payne

This trip was a wonderful experience. It has an aspect of adventure to it such as where we stayed and all of our excursions. Our tour guide S'aid was exceptional! If you're going to go to Morocco I highly recommend this tour. I felt like I learned so much about the culture and also was able to see many different parts of the country.

LAN ROW KOK

5.0 - Excellent
It was a great tour! Everything was streamlined, and it just gets better and better! Our guide Issmail is wonderful, funny and knowledgeable, gives you a lot of insights to the local life in Morocco. Hotels are budget, but clean and comfortable (which is good enough for me), restaurants might be a little touristy but no doubt the food is good! Overall it was a wonderful experience and I would recommend anyone to do it.

Trista Bergerud

Overall, the trip was amazing! Camping on safari for ten days in southern Africa was a once in a lifetime experience. Be ready to not be in completely clean accommodations all of the time, you are camping after all. And you will have to deal with your fear of insects ;)

Eva Liefting

I've had an amazing time in Africa. I felt save at all times and my holiday was stress-free thanks to our amazing guide and driver. The drives are long, but a 10-hour bus drive at the first day definitely helps getting to know the other travellers in your group. And thanks to all the animals you encounter along the way it's all well worth it!

This trip was so incredible, we did something new and different everyday. I've never experience such good guides that showed so much passion for what they were doing and it really reflected onto our trip experience. The highlight of the trip was definitely visiting the Masaai village it is an experience I will never forget. The camping sites all had adequate facilities. It was honestly the trip of a life time, all the animals and landscapes that we saw were phenomenal and we really were able to delve into the culture and learn all we wanted to know about all the people and areas we went to.

Emily Greenberg

The Essential Morocco trip was incredible! Our group was so lucky to have such an amazing guide in Saaid - he was the most caring, approachable, humorous and friendly guide! We were also very lucky in that we became such great friends and like a tight knit family which made the experiences and the adventures even more special and enjoyable. The opportunities provided in this tour are out of this world from eating camel burgers to sleeping under the stars in the Sahara. Seriously, Morocco heightens your senses in every single way - if you love colour, exotic spices, smells and delicious food (tagine all day!) then Morocco is definitely for you.
DO IT!
